In the midst of The Great Resignation, employers and managers are seeking to understand why employees leave their jobs—and how to retain them.
Kim Seeling Smith, CEO of Ignite Global, a firm specializing in workforce retention, suggests that there are 9 factors vital to keeping employees happy. (Or, to put a finer point on it: 9 ways to avoid a great resignation in your workplace.)
Employees want to:
- work for a company whose values align with their own
- work for someone that they trust and respect
- work with people that they like
- be appreciated in a way that’s appropriate to them
- have a voice
- know what they need to do to succeed and how that success will be measured
- learn, grow, and develop in their careers
- be inspired to go the extra mile
- spend most of their day doing work that they love
How do you keep your employees motivated—beyond salary and benefits? What keeps you motivated and engaged in your own job? Please share your advice and reply to this discussion.
